This made my last few days really uncomfortable and difficult. But I'm happy to be able to stand in front of you, even if it's with some sort of metal frame around me.

My recovery began with the goal in mind to be back behind the wheel of a race car as quickly as possible. As such, I wanted to thank you enormously for your kindness and the messages of support that I received, and that I still receive. I hope to see you again very soon."
